The Radio Dept. Wrote More Than 100 Songs for 'Clinging to a Scheme'

  • Posted on May 5th 2010 4:30PM by Cam Lindsay
For anyone who's been following Sweden's the Radio Dept., you're probably wondering what took them so long to follow up 2006's 'Pet Grief.' The band's new album 'Clinging to a Scheme' recently debuted to glowing reviews after a four-year wait, but if we were to believe their label's news updates or even the band's MySpace page, we should have ...

Little Girls Interview: SXSW 2010

  • Posted on Mar 10th 2010 4:35PM by Cam Lindsay
Little Girls timed it perfectly -- last year Josh McIntyre's one-man act (now a full band) found its legs when an MP3 of his picked up buzz on the Gorilla Vs. Bear blog, almost immediately after he launched his MySpace page. Formed while splitting his time with his other lo-fi post-punk outfit, Pirate/Rock, news of Toronto's Little Girls spread ...

Zeus Interview: SXSW 2010

  • Posted on Mar 10th 2010 1:03PM by Cam Lindsay
It's not often the backing band gets the -- or any -- glory. Originally forming as their own band to play a pick-up gig, Zeus found themselves accepting an invitation to back up Broken Social Scene member Jason Collett as his solo band in 2005. They fit like a glove, flaunting their versatility by swapping instruments, but Zeus knew they were meant ...

Warpaint Interview: SXSW 2010

  • Posted on Mar 8th 2010 3:07PM by Cam Lindsay
Los Angeles is breeding ground for free spirits and the four ladies in Warpaint are no exception to that rule. Childhood chums Theresa Wayman and Emily Kokal formed the band, adding Jenny Lee Lindberg and sister Shannyn Sossamon (yeah, the actress) to fill out the rhythm section (Stella Mozgawa has taken over the skins for Sossamon). Crystalline ...

Neon Indian Interview: SXSW 2010

  • Posted on Mar 8th 2010 3:06PM by Cam Lindsay
Alan Palomo had just retired his initial project Ghosthustler and got to work with his band VEGA when he "accidentally" formed Neon Indian. The 21-year-old Texan didn't see it coming, but the dazed and confused, bedroom synth-phonies he began making helped build one of 2009's most revered sub-genres. Born out of "field recordings, record samples ...

Rival Schools Interview: SXSW 2010

  • Posted on Mar 1st 2010 4:12PM by Cam Lindsay
Born out of the ashes of seminal post-hardcore band Quicksand, Rival Schools was formed by producer/songwriter/hardcore legend Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today) as an outlet to evolve his songwriting. Initially viewed as a "supergroup" because of the band's pedigree (which also included members from CIV and Judge), they emerged ...

Little Boots Clears Up Tabloid Rumors

  • Posted on Oct 8th 2009 4:00PM by Cam Lindsay
Little Boots, aka Victoria Hesketh, has been compared to everyone from Kylie Minogue to Goldfrapp to Donna Summer and well, every woman armed with a synth these days (hello Lady Gaga, La Roux and Ladyhawke). Though she's only been in the spotlight for a year or so, Little Boots has not only found herself become the toast of the blogosphere and ...
